Answer:

The poet's word choice in these lines conveys a tone of danger

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the word "melancholy" makes it appear that the right answer is "disappointment", the poet sought to create a dangerous tone by showing the violence of the wind in releasing himself even though he was melancholy. So the right answer is "danger."
